Earlier this week, officials at the Tama Zoo in Tokyo ran a tiger containment drill based on the premise that a Siberian tiger had escaped during an earthquake.

To simulate the roaming cat, officials put some unlucky soul in a fur suit and corralled him with nets and a simulated tranquilizer dart. Sure, it's easy to catch a tiger when it's confused by its unfamiliar environs. What would really be a challenge is if "the tiger" suddenly evolved the mental faculties of a human and commandeered one of those zoo golf carts. Trust me, vainglorious zookeepers across the globe are woefully unprepared for that day.
